Oven cleaning across Erith Marshes, DA18, using the in-van dip-tank method and non-caustic degreasing by hand, with single ovens from £77.
The homes here are the Bexley edge of Thamesmead, the concrete maisonettes and twelve-storey blocks the GLC put up on reclaimed marsh from 1968, most of them now under Peabody. The kitchens are compact and the cooker is nearly always a single freestanding electric model set against one wall. That is the £77 job on almost every visit round Yarnton Way and Harrow Manorway.
The flats we clean off Yarnton Way
These are small kitchens, and small kitchens are exactly where the dip-tank method earns its keep, because when the racks, shelves, trays and side runners come out and go into the heated tank in the van, and the cavity and door glass get degreased by hand with nothing caustic, there is no chemical smell left hanging in a room you cannot air out easily. A single takes about ninety minutes. Some of the newer low-rise infill has an integrated single oven behind a cupboard door, and that cleans the same way.
DA18 also runs down onto the working land by the river, the marsh next to Crossness and the trade estates off Norman Road, Manor Road and Bilton Road. We get calls from the units there and from agents turning flats around, so end-of-tenancy work is steady. We heat-test every oven before we leave.
What it costs
Prices are fixed and quoted on the phone. There is no premium-area surcharge. A single oven suits most flats here, so our single oven clean is the booking we take most in DA18.
| Single oven | £77 |
| Double oven | £110 |
| Range cooker, 90cm | £114 |
| Two-oven AGA | £143 |
| Hob | £23–28 |
| Extractor hood | £28 |
| Microwave | £22 |
Parking and getting to the door
Parking is rarely the problem here that it is in inner London, since the estates were built with bays and surface parking, but the door itself can be. Tell us the block and floor when you book and whether the lift is working, because the tank and kit ferry from the van. The whole of DA18 is inside the London-wide ULEZ, and our vans meet the standard. Abbey Wood, on the Elizabeth line since 2022, is the nearest station.
Do you clean the integrated ovens in the newer low-rise flats?
Yes. Most are a single integrated oven, which is the £77 clean. Tell us the floor and whether there is a lift when you book.
Is the oven usable straight after?
Yes. We heat-test it and sign it off before leaving, and because the products are non-caustic there is nothing to air out first.
Do you do end-of-tenancy ovens for the Peabody flats?
We do. Agents and outgoing tenants book them between lets, and we sign the oven off for the inventory check.
Can you add the hob and microwave?
Yes. A hob is £23–28 and a microwave is £22, added to whichever oven price applies.
What customers tell us
Brilliant clean, my oven looks like brand new. A 5 star clean.
I would certainly recommend this service, very efficient and good value for money. The young man did a great job and even cleaned the kitchen floor. Thank you.
Very satisfied with the service. They were slightly late at first but I got a call from customer service to let me know, and it was all fine. The oven man, as he called himself, arrived and worked very hard for a couple of hours. My oven now looks like it has never been used.
